Holy crap, that’s fucked up.

Maybe nerd is too specific. I just mean “online people” I guess. But I personally have a focus on tech, games, video, etc. It’s something I’m increasingly self aware about, after spending the time since 2020 more online. Including in synchronous online spaces.

The spaces I’m talking about felt very different to me 15+ years ago. And the synchronous space I’m talking about felt very different 9 years ago.

Anyway, you’re not wrong. Your framing is still the people I mean. And now I see their type around me in more spaces. And yeah, it’s funny how it’s always a baselsss ban.

This is one of my biggest complaints about Lenny lemmy. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔

I really feel like Lenny amplifies and concentrates it in a way that makes it more visible at times. And GTA6 is an example.

The stuff about it helping with various addiction situations is real. But I don’t suspect it’s a good idea to use it off label for that. Just that it’s one of the many side effects.

I think a lot of people think they have ADHD when they really have roller coaster blood sugar or very high A1C.

And I’ve come to believe this based on lived experience. I now think a small percentage of the uptick we have seen over the last few decades of people believing they have ADHD, or getting diagnosed with it, is due to this.

People should probally be screened for metabolic issues when they are being assessed. Especially if they are coming to it as an adult.

I knew they wouldn’t chase down stuff like Linux.

Maybe they will someday, if the year of, on the desktop, truly arrives for normal people.

It’s slowly occurred to me that a bunch of people see the fascism situation as a YOLO opportunity, and that’s all. 😔

Looks great.

And people upset about how the preview was posted are just looking for additional reasons to be upset with Rockstar.

Be upset about more important things, like labor issues, crunch, union busting, no physical release, etc.

It starts at 50 and you can get shingles earlier than that. Like, at 39.9. 😔
